fms-like tyrosine kinase-3 is a receptor tyrosine kinase expressed by immature hematopoietic cells and is important for the normal development of stem cells and the immune system. mutations of fms-like tyrosine kinase-3 have been detected in about 30% of patients with acute myelogenous leukemia and a small number of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. the fms-like tyrosine kinase-3 muta...

A new approach to estimate the Shannon entropy of a long-range correlated sequence is proposed. The entropy is written as the sum of two terms corresponding respectively to power-law (ordered) and exponentially (disordered) distributed blocks (clusters). The approach is illustrated on the 24 human chromosome sequences by taking the nucleotide composition as the relevant information to be encode...

Dipygus is a teratological fetus with a double pelvis, genitals, and extremities. Congenital duplications in cattle are rare. Caudal duplication is more common in sheep and pigs while cranial duplications seem to be predominant in cattle.Asymmetric or parasitic conjoined twins consisting of an incomplete twin (parasite) attached to the body of a fully-developed twin (autosite).This report deals...

Segmental duplications (also termed 'fenestrations') of the fetal anterior cerebral artery are a relatively rare anomaly. Their occurrence was studied in 200 fetuses at 20-40 wk gestational age. Duplications were found in 21 of the 200 fetuses, i.e. 10.5%. In 2 fetuses, i.e. 1%, the duplications were bilateral. In 1 case, i.e. 0.5%, 2 duplications were found on the left anterior cerebral artery...

gastric duplication cysts comprise 2-7% of gastrointestinal duplications, rare congenital malformations that can be present at almost any part of the alimentary tract. they mostly present with gastrointestinal obstruction symptoms, ulceration, and painless hemorrhage. symptoms include nausea, vomiting, and fullness sensation. gastric duplications are mostly cystic in shape. herein, we present a...

Duplications of the alimentary tract are very rare congenital anomalies, and which two thirds cases manifest before age years. Among duplication colonic duplications unusual, they may remain asymptomatic present in adulthood. This report discussed a case 26-year-old female who presented with abdominal pain due to colocolic intussusception. Right hemicolectomy was performed for same diagnosis ca...

Congenital duplications may arise anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract. Midgut duplications are the most common; foregut duplications (oesophagus, stomach, and the first and second part of the duodenum) account for approximately one third of all duplications. ' Foregut duplication cysts arise either as posterior mediastinal oesophageal duplications, or as foregut duplications from within the ...

rntro Cystom. (lntestin;.il Duplications and , or intes-, SUtinal Cysts). These are . congenital cysts who contain  wall has a same histologie pattern as intestinal wall, and they are common in ab- dominal cavity and 70% of them are located in ileocecal region. Twenty percent (20%)oi these cysts have a entrance to intestinal lumen and the rest of them are closed cysts. With duplications in thor...

We identified 255 loci across the human genome that contain genomic imbalances among unrelated individuals. Twenty-four variants are present in 410% of the individuals that we examined. Half of these regions overlap with genes, and many coincide with segmental duplications or gaps in the human genome assembly. This previously unappreciated heterogeneity may underlie certain human phenotypic var...
